Big news in the Giant Mug these days, especially for those of the femalian persuazion.
Gracie's beau recently morphed into a fiancé.
And he pegged out the romantometer doing it too. Fink. The whole thing was pretty darn classy and deserves a treatment of its own, but for now, I'll tell you, you never saw nor heard of as much flapdoodle as was had by a veritable gaggle of gals.
It has begun to sink in, and my Dear Sweet Wife and I come to new realizations every day which cause us to sink a bit more:
- This sank in a long time ago - he's a very nice young man and we'll be proud to have him for a son-in-law. Having a nice relationship with his family is an appreciable bonus as well.
- We're not going to be getting an empty room. Instead, we'll be establishing an environmentally controlled storage facility for large boxes of temporarily unusable household goods.
- We (both sides) have an alarmingly high number of relatives living in close enough proximity that they'll all come to the festivities on the yet-to-be appointed date next summer. I'm lobbying for a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday afternoon.
- We (both sides) also have an alarmingly high number of friends.
- Very few members (and none, thankfully, of the blood kin) in subset 4 above appear on both sides.
- I don't have nearly the propensity for ticking off family members and friends as I seem to think I have; therefore, an alarmingly high percentage of invitees are likely to show up next summer.
- The betrotheds may need to secure a parade permit if they appoint any more Skippers and Kevins to stand in this deal.
- I will not (do you hear me? WILL NOT!) be watching any wedding movies. I already regret having watched "Father of the Bride" - neither Spencer Tracy's nor Steve Martin's versions are the least bit funny any more.
- More things will sink in as this progresses.
Of course, now that he's going to be fambly, I'll have to quit referring to him as a mere schmedlet associate and grant him the traditional "G" name conferred upon the closest members in my cast of characters. Hmmmmm...
Grant sounds pretty good, and it goes with Gracie rather nicely - in a "To Catch a Thief" sort of way. Even that's appropriate, considering he's taking one of my precious jewels away...
